Challenge

Build versus Buy

Financial solutions innovation is a complex and expensive process. Usually, the preferred approach has been to build custom applications in-house. Why? Management will always have concerns that a third-party solution won’t meet their specialized requirements or connect efficiently with existing systems.

However, according to a Gallop Poll one in six IT projects have an average cost overrun of 200% and a schedule overrun of almost 70%. This is due to the cost of the initial build, support, bug fixes, upgrades, and keeping up with market trends. The ability to manage a project and reduce cost overruns is critical.
